Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a food processing device with a roller. Background Technology

[0002] Stick-shaped foods are classified as convenience foods, and the currently popular pet lollipops also fall into this category. The processing of these lollipops currently involves multiple steps, including casting, inserting the stick, and cooling / demolding. Currently, semi-automatic or manual methods are still widely used for casting and stick insertion: operators pour the liquid into the mold and then manually insert loose sticks into the still partially solidified liquid. This method has significant drawbacks: firstly, it has low production efficiency, as manual casting and stick insertion are slow and the speed is difficult to match; secondly, it poses significant hygiene risks, as frequent hand contact with the sticks and liquid can easily introduce microbial contamination; and thirdly, inconsistent stick insertion depth and verticality affect product appearance and yield. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a food processing device with a roller.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the food processing equipment with a stick is characterized in that: the blister pack for forming food with a stick is provided with several sets of material grooves and stick grooves, the material grooves and stick grooves correspond one-to-one, the stick grooves are in the middle of the material grooves, the depth of the material grooves is deeper than the stick grooves, the beginning of the stick grooves is connected to the material grooves, and the several sets of material grooves and stick grooves are arranged horizontally and evenly in several rows. The food processing equipment with rollers includes a blister pack conveying mechanism, a filling mechanism, and a roller dispensing mechanism. The filling mechanism is used to inject the original liquid into the material tank of the blister pack. The filling mechanism includes a filling head that can be lifted up and down, and the filling head corresponds one-to-one with the material tank of the blister pack. The stick-dispensing mechanism includes a stick-separating device and a stick-feeding component. The stick-separating device includes an intermittent conveyor belt with several stick-feeding seats installed on the conveyor belt. Each stick-feeding seat has a stick-supporting groove for accommodating sticks. The stick-feeding component is used to feed the sticks on the stick-feeding seats into the stick grooves of the bubble shell plate. The stick-feeding component includes a stick-lifting mechanism and a first driving component for driving the stick-lifting mechanism to move. The blister pack conveying mechanism includes a blister pack conveying device that intermittently conveys the blister packs and a blister pack output device that outputs the blister packs after filling and unloading. The blister pack conveying device conveys the blister packs in a straight line.

[0005] The blister pack conveying device transports the blister packs. At the filling station, the filling mechanism injects the concentrate into the material trough of the blister pack. At the roll-releasing station, the roll-releasing mechanism delivers the rolls from the roll-dispensing device to the roll slots of the blister pack. Finally, the blister pack output device outputs the blister pack, which has been filled and rolled. This invention enables automated processing of food products with rolls, eliminates the hygiene hazards of prior art, and improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0006] Preferably, the blister pack conveying device includes a left chain group, a right chain group, and a blister pack tray. The left chain group and the right chain group each include a sprocket and a drive chain mounted on the sprocket. The upper section of the drive chain is the blister pack conveying section, which is horizontally arranged. The two ends of the blister pack tray are mounted on the drive chains of the left chain group and the right chain group. The blister pack tray includes a lower tray and a limiting baffle. The limiting baffle is narrower than the lower tray and is located in the middle of the lower tray. Two adjacent blister pack trays are used to store one blister pack. The blister packing device also includes side baffles, which are disposed on both sides of the blister packing plate.

[0007] The blister pack is placed on the lower support plate of the blister conveyor section. The limiting baffle restricts the front and rear position of the blister pack, and the side baffle restricts the left and right position of the blister pack, so that the position of the blister pack relative to the transmission chain is stable during the conveying process. In this way, the transmission chain can accurately deliver the blister pack to the processing station.

[0008] Preferably, the blister conveying section of the blister conveying device is provided with a blister feeding station, a filling station, a roller placement station and a blister output station in sequence. The blister pack output device includes a bridge plate and a laterally reciprocating pusher plate. One side of the blister pack output station is the blister pack output position, and the other side is the pusher plate waiting position. The bridge plate is connected to the blister pack output position. The blister pack passes through the filling station and the roll placement station in sequence before entering the blister pack output station. The pusher plate moves towards the blister pack output position, pushing the blister pack away from the transmission chain and output through the bridge plate.

[0009] Preferably, the blister pack conveying mechanism further includes a pallet conveying device, which includes a pallet input component, a pallet output component, and a transfer component. The pallet input component and the pallet output component are located on the same side of the transfer component, and the other side of the transfer component is connected to the blister pack output position. When the transfer component receives a pallet, it is connected to the pallet input component, and when the transfer component outputs a pallet, it is connected to the pallet output component. The tray input component is positioned above the tray output component; The pallet input component includes a first conveyor belt, the pallet output component includes a second conveyor belt, and the transfer component includes a third conveyor belt.

[0010] The transfer unit first connects with the pallet input unit. The first conveyor belt sends the pallet to the third conveyor belt of the transfer unit. Then, the pusher pushes the blister pack into the pallet from the other side of the transfer unit. After that, the transfer unit connects with the pallet output unit. The third conveyor belt sends the pallet and the blister pack in the pallet to the second conveyor belt, which then sends them out or to the next process.

[0011] Preferably, the transfer component includes a base, a mounting base, a first drive assembly for driving the base to lift and lower, the third conveyor belt is disposed on the mounting base, the side of the mounting base near the pallet input component is the first side, the other side is the second side, the second side of the mounting base is rotatably connected through a rotating shaft base, and a second drive assembly for driving the mounting base to swing up and down around the rotating shaft is mounted on the base; When the transfer component receives the tray and blister pack, the first drive assembly drives the base to move upward, the second drive assembly drives the first side of the mounting base to swing upward, the third conveyor belt connects with the first conveyor belt, and the second side of the mounting base is lower than the blister output position and the first side. The mounting base, the third conveyor belt on the mounting base, and the tray tilt downward. After the blister pack is pushed out, the end of the blister pack initially contacts the tray at approximately the middle of the tray, allowing the blister pack to stably enter the tray.

[0012] Preferably, the first drive assembly includes a motor and several sets of screw mechanisms. The screws of the screw mechanisms are rotatably connected to the base, the nuts of the screw mechanisms are mounted on the frame, and the several screws are connected by a coupling. The motor is connected to the screws. The motor drives the screws to rotate, and the couplings enable the several screws to rotate synchronously, so that the base and the mounting base can be raised and lowered stably.

[0013] The second drive component is a cylinder, which is rotatably mounted on the base, and the piston rod of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the mounting base. The cylinder drives the mounting base to swing around a pivot axis.

[0014] Preferably, the filling mechanism further includes a raw liquid storage tray, which moves laterally back and forth above the blister pack at the filling station. When the filling head takes liquid, the raw liquid storage tray is at the filling station, and the filling head draws the raw liquid. When the blister pack is filled with liquid, the raw liquid storage tray leaves the filling station, and the filling head expels the raw liquid. The filling head of this invention maintains a constant longitudinal and lateral position on the frame, ensuring that the relative position of the filling head and the blister pack material tank at the filling station is always precisely aligned. This avoids positioning errors accumulated from multi-directional movement and improves the repeatability and stability of the liquid addition point.

[0015] Preferably, the filling head is a hollow cylindrical shape, and a piston rod is provided inside the filling head. The filling head is mounted on a first lifting plate, and the piston rod is mounted on a second lifting plate. The second lifting plate is connected to a driving component that drives its lifting and lowering, and the driving component is mounted on the first lifting plate. When the piston rod moves upward relative to the filling head, the filling head draws in the original liquid; when the piston rod moves downward relative to the filling head, it pushes the original liquid out.

[0016] Preferably, the filling mechanism further includes a stirring component, which comprises a rotating plate and a stirring rod mounted on the rotating plate. The rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the stirring rod extends into the raw liquid storage tray. The rotation of the rotating plate drives the stirring rod to rotate about the rotation axis of the rotating plate with a radius equal to the distance from the rotation axis to the stirring rod. The stirring rod agitates the raw liquid in the raw liquid storage tray, preventing sedimentation.

[0017] Preferably, the two rows of material troughs and roller grooves form a unit. The two rows of material troughs in a unit are opposite to each other and staggered laterally, while the two rows of roller grooves face opposite directions and are arranged alternately. The arrangement of material troughs and roller grooves in each unit is consistent. This arrangement is compact and reduces costs.

[0018] There are two roller placement stations, and each roller placement station is equipped with a set of roller placement mechanisms. The set of roller placement mechanisms is used to place rollers with the same orientation as the material trough and roller trough.

[0019] Preferably, the rod-removing component includes a mounting plate and several clamping components, with the clamping components mounted in a row on the mounting plate; The roller feeder has a notch that provides clearance for the clamping component. The width of the notch extends through the bottom and side walls of the roller support groove. The conveyor belt includes an infeed section and an outlet section. The clamping component holds the rollers on the roller feeder in the outlet section and feeds them into the roller groove of the blister pack.

[0020] Preferably, the roller separating device further includes a feeder, which includes a hopper, a feeding roller, and a baffle plate. The feeding roller is at least partially rotatably disposed in the hopper. The feeding roller is disposed above the conveyor belt. The point where the feeding roller is tangent to the feeding roller seat of the conveyor belt is the discharge port of the feeder. The circumferential side of the feeding roller is provided with several material grooves, which are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction. The baffle plate is located on the circumferential side of the feeding roller to block part of the material trough. The end of the baffle plate extends close to the discharge port. The rollers in the hopper enter the material trough of the feeding roller. As the feeding roller rotates, the material trough passes through the discharge port in sequence, and the rollers in the material trough are discharged from the discharge port and enter the feeding roller seat below.

[0032] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the embodiments and working principles of the present invention. Figure 1 In the diagram, the X-axis represents the horizontal axis, the Y-axis represents the vertical axis, and the Z-axis represents the vertical axis. (See appendix.) Figure 10The blister pack plate is provided with several sets of material slots 91 and roller slots 92. The material slots are cavities for holding the concentrate, and each material slot corresponds to a roller slot. The roller slot is located in the middle of the material slot, and its depth is greater than that of the material slot. The beginning of the roller slot is connected to the material slot. To facilitate the insertion of rollers, the roller slot is divided into two sections, with a clearance groove 93 between them. This clearance groove is deeper than the roller slot and provides clearance for removing the rollers. To facilitate processing and reduce costs, the material slots 91 and roller slots 92 are arranged horizontally and evenly in several rows, with two rows forming a unit. Figure 10 There are eight rows in total, divided into four units. The two rows of material troughs in one unit are opposite to each other and staggered laterally, and the two rows of roller grooves face opposite directions and are set alternately. The material troughs and roller grooves in each unit are arranged in the same way, and the clearance groove 93 in the middle is transversely connected. Figure 10 In this arrangement, the first and second rows form a unit, positioned one in front of the other. Two rows of grooves are positioned between the two rows of material slots, with the grooves of the first and second rows alternating. The material slots of the first and second rows are laterally offset, maximizing the arrangement of material slots and grooves on the blister pack. Similarly, the third and fourth rows form a unit, as do the fifth and sixth rows. The material slots and grooves of the third and fifth rows are aligned front-to-back with those of the first row and face the same direction. The material slots and grooves of the fourth and sixth rows are aligned front-to-back with those of the second row and face the same direction. In other words, the arrangement of material slots and grooves in each unit is consistent.

[0033] This type of food processing equipment with rollers includes a blister pack conveying mechanism, a filling mechanism 2, and a roller placement mechanism. The filling mechanism 2 is used to inject the raw liquid into the material tank 91 of the blister pack. The filling mechanism 2 includes a filling head 23 that can move up and down, and the filling head 23 corresponds one-to-one with the material tank 91 of the blister pack. The roller placement mechanism includes a roller feeding component, which is used to feed the roller on the roller feeding seat into the roller slot 92 of the blister pack. The roller feeding component includes a roller picking component 3 that can move up and down and a first driving component that drives the roller picking component to move. The first driving component can be a multi-axis manipulator 8. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the process, two sets of roller placement mechanisms are provided, and two roller placement stations 73 are provided. Each roller placement station 73 has one set of roller placement mechanisms. One set of roller placement mechanisms is used to place the material trough 91 and the rollers with the same orientation. Figure 10Taking the arrangement of blister packs as an example, the material troughs 91 and roller slots of the first, third, fifth, and seventh rows face the same direction and share a common roller placement mechanism, which is the first roller placement mechanism. The material troughs 91 and roller slots 92 of the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth rows face the same direction and share a common roller placement mechanism, which is the second roller placement mechanism. The blister pack conveying mechanism includes a blister pack conveying device 1 for intermittently conveying the blister packs 9 and a blister pack output device 5 for outputting the blister packs that have completed filling and roller placement. The blister pack conveying device 1 conveys the blister packs. At the filling station 72, the filling mechanism 2 injects the concentrate into the material trough 91 of the blister pack. At the roller placement station 73, the roller placement mechanism sends the rollers into the roller slots 92 of the blister pack. Finally, the blister pack output device 5 outputs the blister packs that have completed filling and roller placement.

[0034] The blister pack conveying device 1 uses linear conveying for blister packs. The blister pack conveying device includes a left chain group, a right chain group, and a blister pack tray. The left chain group and the right chain group each include a sprocket and a transmission chain 11 mounted on the sprocket. The sprocket is connected to a motor. The upper section of the transmission chain is the blister pack conveying section, which is horizontally positioned. The two ends of the blister pack tray are mounted on the transmission chains 11 of the left and right chain groups. The blister pack tray includes a lower support plate 13 and a limiting baffle 12. The limiting baffle is narrower than the lower support plate and is positioned in the middle of the lower support plate 13. Two adjacent blister pack trays are used to hold one blister pack 9. That is, the lower support plate 13 is divided into a front support plate and a rear support plate by the limiting baffle 12. The front support plate cooperates with the rear support plate of the previous lower support plate to support the front blister pack 9; the rear support plate cooperates with the front support plate of the next lower support plate to support the rear blister pack 9. The blister pack conveying device 1 also includes side baffles 14, which are disposed on both sides of the blister pack support plate. The blister pack 9 is placed on the lower support plate 13 of the blister pack conveying section. A limiting baffle 12 restricts the front-to-back position of the blister pack 9, and the side baffles 14 restrict the left-to-right position of the blister pack 9, ensuring the blister pack 9 remains stable relative to the transmission chain 11 during conveying. This allows the transmission chain to accurately deliver the blister pack 9 to the processing station. To improve conveying accuracy, the blister pack conveying device also includes a sensor for fixed-point detection of the blister pack 9. The sensor and motor are connected to a control system. The motor drives the sprocket to rotate, conveying the blister pack 9. When the sensor detects the blister pack 9, the motor stops, allowing the blister pack 9 to precisely stop at the processing station.

[0035] The blister packing device 1 has a blister packing section sequentially equipped with a blister packing station 71, a filling station 72, a roll placement station 73, and a blister packing output station 74. There are two roll placement stations 73, namely a first station 731 and a second station 732. The side baffle 14 longitudinally covers only the blister packing station 71, the filling station 72, and the roll placement station 73. The blister packing output station 74 is used for the output of the blister pack 9, with the side baffle 14 providing clearance. The blister packing output device 5 includes a bridge plate 52 and a laterally reciprocating pusher plate 51. One side of the blister packing output station 74 is the blister packing output position, and the other side is the pusher plate waiting position. The bridge plate 52 connects to the blister packing output position. After passing through the filling station 72 and the roll placement station 73, the blister pack 9 enters the blister packing output station 74. The pusher plate 51 moves towards the blister packing output position, pushing the blister pack 9 away from the transmission chain and outputting it through the bridge plate 52.

[0036] The blister pack conveying mechanism also includes a pallet conveying device 6, which comprises a pallet input component 61, a pallet output component 62, and a transfer component 63. The pallet input component and the pallet output component are located on the same side of the transfer component, and the other side of the transfer component 63 is connected to the blister pack output position. The pallet input component 61 is located above the pallet output component 62. When the transfer component receives a pallet, it connects with the pallet input component; when the transfer component outputs a pallet, it connects with the pallet output component. The pallet input component 61 includes a first conveyor belt, the pallet output component 62 includes a second conveyor belt, and the transfer component 63 includes a third conveyor belt. The connection between the transfer component and the pallet input component and the pallet output component is that the third conveyor belt connects with the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt. The transfer component also includes a base 632, a mounting base 631, and a first drive assembly for lifting and lowering the base 632. The third conveyor belt is mounted on the mounting base. The side of the mounting base 631 closest to the tray input component 61 is the first side, and the other side is the second side. The second side of the mounting base is rotatably connected to the base 632 via a pivot 633. A second drive assembly is mounted on the base to drive the mounting base 631 to swing up and down around the pivot. When the transfer component 63 receives the tray and blister pack 9, the first drive assembly drives the base 632 to move upward, and the second drive assembly drives the first side of the mounting base 631 to swing upward. The third conveyor belt connects with the first conveyor belt. The second side of the mounting base 631 is lower than the blister output position and the first side. The mounting base, the third conveyor belt on the mounting base, and the tray are tilted. After the blister pack 9 is pushed out, the end of the blister pack initially contacts the tray at approximately the middle of the tray, allowing the blister pack to stably enter the tray. If the mounting base 631 is set horizontally, the blister plate 9 will contact the end of the tray near the blister output position. The contact area between the two is large, and the blister plate 9 will shake during the movement, which may cause the injected original liquid to spill out.

[0037] To ensure stable lifting and lowering of the mounting base 631, the first drive assembly includes a motor 636 and several sets of screw mechanisms. The screws 634 of the screw mechanisms are rotatably connected to the base 632. Ideally, the screws are evenly distributed at the four corners of the base 632. The nuts of the screw mechanisms are mounted on the frame. Several screws are connected via couplings 635. The motor 636 is connected to the screws. The motor drives the screws 634 to rotate, and the couplings 635 cause the screws to rotate synchronously, ensuring stable lifting and lowering of the base and mounting base 631. The second drive assembly is a cylinder 637, rotatably mounted on the base. The piston rod of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the mounting base 631, and the cylinder drives the mounting base to swing around a pivot axis.

[0038] The filling mechanism 2 also includes a raw liquid storage tray 24, which reciprocates laterally above the blister pack at the filling station 72. To ensure stable movement of the raw liquid storage tray 24, a transverse guide rail is installed on the frame. The raw liquid storage tray 24 moves along the transverse guide rail, and can be driven by a cylinder 637, a lead screw mechanism, a synchronous belt, etc. When the filling head 23 picks up liquid, the raw liquid storage tray is at the filling station 72, and the filling head 23 draws up the raw liquid. When the blister pack is filled with liquid, the raw liquid storage tray moves away from the filling station to make way for the filling head. Through the reciprocating movement of the raw liquid storage tray 24, the longitudinal and transverse positions of the filling head 23 on the frame remain unchanged, ensuring that the relative position of the filling head 23 and the raw liquid cavity of the blister pack at the filling station 72 is always precisely aligned. This avoids the positioning error accumulated from multi-directional movement and improves the repeatability and stability of the liquid filling point.

[0039] The filling head 23 is a hollow cylindrical shape, and a piston rod is provided inside the filling head. The filling head is mounted on a first lifting plate 21, and the piston rod is mounted on a second lifting plate 22. The second lifting plate 22 is connected to a driving component that drives its lifting and lowering, and the driving component is mounted on the first lifting plate 21. The first lifting plate drives the filling head 23 to lift and lower, and the driving component 25 drives the second lifting plate 22 to lift and lower. When the second lifting plate moves upward, the piston rod moves upward relative to the filling head 23, thus the filling head draws in the original liquid. When the second lifting plate moves downward, the piston rod moves downward relative to the filling head 23, thus pushing the original liquid out.

[0040] To prevent sedimentation of the raw liquid, the filling mechanism 2 also includes a stirring component. This stirring component comprises a rotating plate and a stirring rod 26 mounted on the rotating plate. The rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the stirring rod 26 extends into the raw liquid storage tray 24. Multiple sets of rotating plates and stirring rods can be arranged longitudinally in a row. When the raw liquid storage tray 24 moves laterally, it moves laterally relative to the stirring component, and the stirring range of the stirring rod 26 covers the raw liquid storage tray 24. The rotation of the rotating plate drives the stirring rod to rotate about the rotation axis of the rotating plate with a radius equal to the distance from the rotation axis to the stirring rod. The stirring rod agitates the raw liquid in the raw liquid storage tray 24, preventing sedimentation.

[0041] The roller-picking component 3 includes a mounting plate and several clamping components 31, with the clamping components mounted in a row on the mounting plate. The number of clamping components in a row corresponds to the number of roller slots in a row on the blister pack 9, completing one row of rollers at a time. The roller-releasing mechanism also includes a roller-separating device 4, which includes a conveyor belt 46 with several roller-feeding seats 47 mounted on it; see attached document. Figure 9 The roller feeding seat is provided with a roller support groove 471 for accommodating rollers, and the roller support groove is V-shaped. The roller feeding seat 47 is also provided with a notch 472, which provides clearance for the clamping member 31. The width direction of the notch 472 extends through the bottom and side walls of the roller support groove 471, so that the roller support groove is completely separated into a front section and a rear section at the notch 472. The clamping member 31 clamps the rollers from the notch 472. The conveyor belt 46 includes a feeding section and a discharging section, and the discharging section is close to the roller placement station 73. The first driving component drives the clamping member 31 to move to the discharging section of the conveyor belt 46. The clamping member 31 clamps the rollers on the roller feeding seat 47 in the discharging section. The clamping member moves to the roller groove of the blister plate 9 in the roller placement station 73. Rolls are picked up and conveyed one row of rollers at a time. Four rows are conveyed four times.

[0042] The roller separating device 4 also includes a feeder, which includes a hopper 41, a feeding roller 44, and a baffle plate 45. The feeding roller is at least partially rotatably mounted within the hopper 41 and is positioned above the conveyor belt 46. The point where the feeding roller 44 is tangent to the roller feeding seat 47 of the conveyor belt is the feeder's outlet 43. The circumferential side of the feeding roller is provided with several material grooves 42, evenly distributed along the circumference. The rotational speed of the feeding roller is matched to the conveying speed of the conveyor belt. When the material grooves 42 of the feeding roller rotate to the outlet 43, the rollers in these grooves are discharged from the outlet 43 and fall directly into the roller support groove 471 of the lower roller feeding seat. The baffle plate 45 is located on the circumferential side of the feeding roller 44 and is used to block part of the material grooves. The end of the baffle plate extends close to the outlet 43. (See attached image) Figure 8The baffle plate 45 roughly blocks half of the feeding roller 44. The rollers in the hopper 41 enter the feed trough 42 of the feeding roller. The baffle plate 45 not only blocks the rollers in the feed trough to prevent them from leaving the feed trough, but also blocks the rollers outside the feed trough. As the feeding roller 44 rotates, the rollers are fed to the discharge port 43 one by one. The rollers in the feed trough 42 are discharged from the discharge port and enter the lower roller feeding seat 47.

[0043] The working principle of the preferred embodiment is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings: The blister pack 9 is placed on the blister tray, and the transmission chain 11 delivers the blister pack to the filling station 72. At this time, the filling head 23 has already extracted the raw liquid, and the raw liquid storage tray 24 moves laterally and leaves the filling station 72 to make way for the filling head 23; the first lifting plate 21 moves down, the filling head 23 approaches the blister pack 9 below, the second lifting plate 22 moves down, and the piston rod pushes the raw liquid in the filling head to inject it into the material tank 91. After filling is completed, the first lifting plate 21 moves upward, making the filling head 23 higher than the original liquid storage tray 24. The original liquid storage tray moves laterally to the filling station 72. The filling head 23 moves downward again and extends into the original liquid storage tray 24. The second lifting plate 22 moves upward, and the filling head draws out the original liquid from the original liquid storage tray. During this process, the transmission chain 11 sends the filled blister pack 9 to the first station 731. The first set of roller release mechanism's roller picker 3 clamps a row of rollers and puts them into a row of roller slots 92 on the blister pack. Then it goes to the discharge section of the conveyor belt to pick up the material. If there are four rows of roller slots in the same direction, the roller picker 3 picks up and puts them in and out four times. After completion, the transmission chain 11 sends the blister pack 9 to the second station 732. The roller picker 3 of the second set of roller release mechanism repeats the above actions. The transmission chain 11 continues to convey the blister pack 9, which has been filled and placed on the roller, to the output station. At this time, the first side of the mounting base 631 is connected to the first conveyor belt, the second side of the mounting base 631 is lower than the bridge plate 52, and the first side is higher than the second side. The tray on the mounting base 631 is tilted. The push plate 51 pushes the blister pack 9 to move towards the tray. The blister pack 9 contacts the tray after passing the bridge plate 52. The initial contact position is approximately in the middle of the tray. As the push plate 51 continues to push, the blister pack 9 is completely inserted into the tray. Then, the cylinder 637 drives the first side of the mounting base 631 to swing downward. The base 632 moves down, so that the third conveyor belt on the mounting base is connected to the second conveyor belt. The third conveyor belt conveys the tray and the blister pack 9 in the tray to the second conveyor belt, which then sends them out or to the next process. The base 632 moves upward and resets, and the cylinder 637 drives the first side of the mounting base to swing upward, so that the third conveyor belt connects with the first conveyor belt. The first conveyor belt sends the empty pallet to the third conveyor belt, and then waits to receive the blister pack 9.
